- A mineral acid is an
acid derived by chemical reaction from inorganic minerals, as opposed to
organic acids.
- Mineral acids have
hydrogen(s) atoms covalently bonded with an anion, such as sulphate, or
chloride, depending on the charge of the anion.
- Mineral acids range
from acids of great strength (example: sulfuric acid) to very weak
(boric acid).
- Mineral acids, are
capable of acidifying water very effectively due to complete
dissociation and liberation of H+ Ions.
- As mineral acid
molecules tend to consist of only a few atoms, of which many are polar,
they tend to be very soluble in water, and insoluble in organic
solvents. Mineral acids are very important to chemical
procedures.
- Hydrochloric acid is
prepared by dissolving hydrogen chloride in water. Hydrogen chloride can
be generated in many ways, and thus several precursors to hydrochloric
acid exist. The large-scale production of hydrochloric acid is almost
always integrated with other industrial scale chemicals
production.
- Nitric acid is made by
mixing nitrogen dioxide (NO2) with water in the presence of oxygen or
air to oxidize the nitrous acid also produced by the reaction.
- In laboratory, nitric
acid can be made from copper(II) nitrate or by reacting approximately
equal masses of potassium nitrate (KNO3) with 96% sulfuric acid, and
distilling this mixture at nitric acid's boiling point of 83 °C until
only a white crystalline mass, potassium hydrogen sulfate , remains in
the reaction vessel. The obtained red fuming nitric acid may be
converted to the white nitric acid.
- Phosphoric acid can be
prepared by two routes - the Thermal Process and the Wet Process. Wet
process phosphoric acid is prepared by adding sulfuric acid to calcium
phosphate rock.
- Mineral acids are most
often used in large-scale industries. For example, a dilute solution of
hydrochloric acid is used for removing the deposits from the inside of
boilers, with precautions taken to prevent the corrosion of the boiler
by the acid. This process is known as de-scaling. Therefore, large
quantities of these acids, especially sulfuric acid, nitric acid and
hydrochloric acid are manufactured for commercial use in large
plants.
- Sulfur and sulfuric
acid will continue to be important in agricultural and industrial
applications, although consumption will be less than production.
- Sulfuric acid
consumption for phosphate fertilizer production was expected to increase
at a lower rate than some other uses, phosphate may become less dominant
in sulfur consumption but remain the leading end use.
- Demand for nitric acid
is largely dependent upon demand for solid ammonium nitrate fertilizer
and nitrogen fertilizer solutions that incorporate ammonium
nitrate.
- Most budget acids on
the market (in the $450 to $550 per 200ltr range) have an inorganic mix
of base acids. Inorganic Acids are generally mineral acids such as
Hydrochloric, Sulphuric, Nitric and Phosphoric. Budget acids usually
contain a mix of Sulphuric and Phosphoric Acid.
